On behalf of the Road Rockets Car Club I would like to begin by laying the
foundation of what we are about to announce… In today’s technological world it
seems that we are all playing a big game of “telephone”… Passing inaccurate
information to the masses at the speed of light. So in an effort to get out
ahead of any rumors or miscommunication or even misunderstandings you are
getting everything straight from the source. Of course it is sort of ironic that
the girl with the smallest social media footprint is writing on social media… I
hope it makes you chuckle as much as it has me.

The most important thing to remember as you continue to read is that the Road
Rockets Car Club is NOT going away…

However, we are making some major changes and those changes directly affect all
of you, our loyal supporters, dedicated friends and those of you that are like
family to us.

The time has come after 18 wonderful and successful years for us to bring the
Road Rockets Rumble to a close. Some things have happened over the summer that
have led to this decision… Things that we have absolutely no say in and in the
words of my club brother Goose… out of our circle of control.

Two crucial events have occurred…. First, the field that we rely heavily on for
the show has been sold and will be developed. Second, Mr. Kote, the owner of the
Waterfront and one of our biggest fans, has officially retired from the hotel
business and he and his wife have sold the hotel.

Since moving to the Waterfront 11 years ago we couldn’t have asked for a better
place to call home. We were tucked away in our own secluded world for 3 days
with the koolest rides, the best vendors, the most outstanding bands and of
course the finest pin-ups. All this paired with a dedicated and supportive hotel
staff we were truly home. Replicating this is next to impossible and an endeavor
that we choose not to pursue. We do not in any way want the show to suffer and
we believe that it would. We have worked diligently over the years to give you
all in attendance the personal attention you so richly deserve in a place that
wanted you there and knows you by name.

With that being said, the time has come to bring the show to a close.

As I stated in the beginning, the Road Rockets are not going anywhere. We just
had our annual Flag-Drag Race event at Brown County Dragway that saw a huge
number of people and cars! I am currently getting everything in order and taking
entries for our Motorama 1962 show being held in February at the State
Fairgrounds.

Each and every one of us want to thank you ALL, what ever your role was in the
Rumble, for all of your support and dedication over the years…. Without each and
every one of you the Rumble would not be what it is today and leave the legacy
behind that it has. Each and every memory will be cherished and smiled upon.

We look forward to seeing you all at shows like the Freaki Tiki, the E’ville
Shindig and the Hot Rod Hullabaloo and of course we certainly hope that you join
us for the Motorama!!
